But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. 1 Peter 3: 14-16

For the past couple of years I’ve been studying logic in order to sharpen my mind, appraise arguments, and help me develop arguments of my own. I’ve also been slowly marching through the works of C.S. Lewis. While these two topics were formerly unrelated, they both converged last year...

What is love? We write all sorts of songs and poems dedicated to this mystical word “love”, but do we know what it is? We’ve heard from recent ad campaigns that love has no genders, love has no race, love has no disability, love has no age, and that love has no religion....

We’ve looked at the Abusive ad hominem fallacy already in an earlier post, but there are plenty of close relatives in the ad hominem family that need further explanation. You’ll remember that an ad hominem fallacy is an informal fallacy because it has to do with the language of the...

The pile of clothes on that cold, tile floor was exceptionally large that night. The off-white layers of ticky-tacky paint was all that was left on the closet shelves. The poorly made and especially poorly assembled brown bookcase stood awkwardly erect and empty at the foot of the painfully small...

I hate clichés as much as-if not more than- the next guy, but not all clichés are created equal. So let’s not judge a cliché by it’s cover, it’s the thought that counts, right? I guess time will tell. Right now I want to take some time to consider a...

Of all the fallacies tossed around today, the abusive ad hominem is the most malevolent. I know in my last Fighting Fallacies post I said that the straw man fallacy is the most prevalent today, but this one really gives it a run for it’s dishonest money. The abusive ad hominem fallacy is...

“That’s a straw man!” We hear this phrase tossed around all the time and it’s gotta be the most common fallacy out there, but what is the Straw Man Fallacy? In order to define this specific fallacy we first need to understand a few key terms like logic, reason, argument, and...

What’s the purpose of life? Are we a cosmic accident? Is there a intrinsic value to human life? Life in general? Why are we here? Why is anything here? Why should we be asking these questions? There are lots of different answers to these questions and they’ve been debated for...

If you’re interested in studying theology then you’ve heard it in one form or another. Usually from older folks. “I don’t need your exegesis, I just need extra Jesus!”, “Doctrine divides”, “when I was young I cared about getting all my ducks in a row,...

There are probably tons of different types of Calvinists but I’m going to briefly describe a few types that I’ve ran into and then address the one that’s most ridiculous. First up is the Cage Stage Calvinist (This cartoon will help!)

Blog, blogs, blogging, blogger, bbblllllllloooooooggggg. Haha sorry that cracks me up. What a terrible word! “Blog” is the noise you’ll hear coming from ponds in the spring when the Bullfrogs are breeding, but somehow it’s come to replace the word “essay”....

When would it not be necessary to use words in sharing the gospel? How is it possible to share the gospel without using words? I guess if you paint several pictures and display them together you could share the gospel without using words. Maybe if you’re pantomiming and your audience already...

“So, according to the Bible, the primary way to define sin is not just the doing of bad things, but the making of good things into ultimate things. It is seeking to establish a sense of self by making something else more central to your significance, purpose, and happiness than your...

God! He run this motha! God! Did you think I’d say girls? Girls are awesome, don’t get me wrong, but girls make such terrible gods. Men do too. Think back on any bad relationship you’ve had, most likely things were so bad because one of you, or even both of you, expected the...

Fake news is so hot right now. Depending on who you ask, the term “FAKE NEWS” is either the weapon of the little people used to prod the media into being even handed or it’s akin to a racial slur for journalists. No matter which side you fall on, we can all admit that there are a...

I’m hesitant to write on apologetics. A common critique of the apologetics I practice is that we spend all our time discussing and debating apologetical methodology instead of actually going out there and doing apologetics. A renowned cultural critic and apologist, Os Guinness, told himself...
